New Achievement and Messenger Features For Combat Arms

Nexon American has announced two new "tactical system updates" to their free-to-play MMOFPS, Combat Arms, as part of their January update.

"The achievement system tracks players' in-game accomplishments and rewards them with medals," says Nexon, "giving players one more method to win the respect and pride of their peers. Ranging from killstreak awards to headshot records to a tally of the total number of explosives a player disarms, the new achievement system gives soldiers a new way to enjoy the visceral gameplay experience of Combat Arms.

"The addition of the messenger system to the Combat Arms interface will allow soldiers to covertly establish communiqué outside of the in-game chat arena," the company continued, "providing an alternate method of tactical planning between players. Now soldiers and clan leaders will be able to effectively deliver privileged information to each other, eliminating the risk of calculated enemy subterfuge."

The TRG-21 and TRG-SE have also been added to the Combat Arms arsenal, allowing players to purchase the long-barreled, high-impact sniper rifles with their Gear Points.
